2 cups of veggies can be really hard to get down in one sitting. Have you tried blending baby spinach with a drink mix? I do that every morning and sometimes in the evening as well. Try different recipes too, like cauliflower mashed "potatoes" or zucchini "spaghetti". It sort of helps you feel like you are eating "normally".

Where in Louisiana are you? I am just starting my third week at a clinic in Metairie.
